Mom’s Apple Crisp

While my grandmother was famous for her pies, apple in particular, mom has always been a fan of the apple crisp. The secret to this recipe and in my opinion happiness in life is… butter! The picture does not have the full pie because it wasn’t around long enough for me to grab the camera… yes, it is that good. The bonus here is that it takes 30 minutes to make and 40 minutes in the oven. Very easy!!

You will need:

9″ Pie Plate

8 Apples (I prefer McCoun)

1 Cup Flour

1 Cup Sugar

1 tsp Baking Powder

1 stick Butter

Dash of Salt

Cinnamon Powder

Lemon Juice

Bottom crust is not needed but I used an extra Pillsbury Pie Crust I had left over. Unroll room temperature crust and arrange in pie plate. Peel and cut 8 apples as you would for a pie. Sprinkle with cinnamon and lemon juice. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. While oven is preheating, mix flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Break one large egg over mixture and blend until crumb-like. Spread this crumble mixture over apples. Melt 1 stick butter and pour over the top taking care not to allow it to run over sides of pie dish trying to get crumble mixture moist. Place in oven and cook for 35 to 40 minutes. Enjoy!
